Chapter 187: The demise of the Yongli court

When the Chinese army broke into Anlongsuo, Zhu Zhenlang and his ministers were drinking and drinking. When the soldiers of the Chinese army arrived at Qianhu Yamen, they could still hear the sounds of cups and chips inside, and "please, please" and "do it" were heard from time to time. The language of persuading people to drink.

And just when the monarchs and ministers of the Yongli court were drunk and drunk, they heard a "bang!" sound. The door of Qianhu Yamen had been smashed open, and a group of soldiers holding muskets rushed in. There was a loud sound. Said: "Don't move, don't move."

Zhu Youlang and his ministers were all stunned for a moment. Their eyes suddenly focused on Chen Bangfu, the Duke of Qing, because among the current ministers, only Chen Bangchuan was a military general, so the guards of the Yongli court were all led by Chen Bangfu.

At this time, Chen Bangfu was also six to seven points drunk. He thought it was his soldiers coming in to ask for pay, so he stood up staggeringly, walked to a soldier, and said sternly: "You are so brave, here is Is there any place where you can come in? Your Majesty is here, why don’t you hurry up... Ouch... Ouch..."

Before he finished speaking, two soldiers came over, swung the butts of their rifles, and hit Chen Bangfu twice in the lower abdomen. The pain made Chen Bangfu clutch his stomach and roll on the ground, and he was mostly drunk with wine. Only then did he look It was clear that the pretense of this army was completely different from that of his own soldiers. He broke out in a cold sweat and said in a trembling voice: "You are..."

A man who looked like an officer shouted: "We are Bao Long, the commander of the second regiment of the 12th Cavalry Division of the Chinese Army's Jiangxi Military Region. Now that you are surrounded by us, you must surrender."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man immediately stood up from his seat and said: "I surrender, I surrender." After saying that, he pointed to the center and said: "Master, he is the emperor, arrest him first. .”

At this time, two more people who were sitting next to him stood up, pointed at him and said: "Ma Jixiang, do you dare to betray the Ming Dynasty and betray the emperor?"

Ma Jixiang spoke eloquently and said: "A good bird chooses a tree for its coffin, a good minister chooses his master to serve, and he who knows the affairs of the world is a hero. The great emperor has long since exhausted his energy. I am just abandoning the dark and turning to the light. Zhu Tianlin, Wang Huacheng, you don't have to be stubborn. Already."

As he was talking, Zhu Tianlin was so angry that he grabbed the wine glass from the table and threw it at Ma Jixiang. Ma Jixiang also saw the opportunity quickly and ducked the glass, but the glass was still filled with more than half of the glass of wine. This was terrible. I couldn't hide anymore, most of my face was covered.

Ma Jixiang was also furious and was about to fight back. Unexpectedly, Wang Huacheng rushed over. He raised his hand and punched Ma Jixiang hard in the face. Ma Jixiang was in pain and was about to fight back. Zhu Tianlin also rushed over and grabbed him. He grabbed Ma Jixiang's robe, punched him, and while beating him, he cursed: "I will beat you to death today, you traitor."

When other ministers saw it, they all rushed over to help. Some of them helped Zhu Tianlin, Wang Huacheng, and Ma Jixiang. Everyone had a group of people around them. At this time, there was a scene in the lobby, and all the ministers started punching each other. There were constant beatings, kicks, and curses. Some people came to help out of righteous indignation, but they did not use personal anger to vent their anger, and they were fishing in troubled waters. Clothes and robes were torn, crowns and sleeves were pulled, tables were overturned, chairs fell over, and it was a mess. From time to time, A wine bowl and teapot flew up, a goddess scattered flowers, and someone was knocked to the ground with a lot of wine and vegetables stuck to their bodies.

Zhu Youlang was so frightened that he hid under the table. In fact, although the ministers beat him fiercely, they still paid more attention to propriety. No one dared to say hello to Zhu Youlang, but the flying saucer and flying bowl did not have eyes, and had two This time, he almost flew past Zhu Zhenlang. Zhu Youlang still dared to sit calmly. He hurriedly hid under the table, thinking to himself that it was too miserable for him to be an emperor, and he might as well die. Forget it. Should I just bang my head under the table and die, or should I find a knife and wipe my neck with it?

Just when Zhu Youlang was thinking about how to die, he heard several loud "bang, bang" sounds, which made his ears buzz. It turned out to be the Chinese army firing shots into the sky.

When the ministers who were having a great time fighting heard the sound of gunshots, they all remembered that the Chinese army was still here, so why were they fighting so hard, so they slowly let go of their hands and stopped.

Bao Long took two steps forward and said, "Have you beaten enough? If not, continue beating. If you beat enough, tie him up."

Ma Jixiang quickly took a few steps forward, knelt at Bao Long's feet, and cried: "General, you have to make the decision for me." In the fight just now, Ma Jixiang was the first to be beaten, and he was also beaten by other ministers. He focused on attacking the target. At this time, his left eye was swollen, a big bump appeared on his forehead, and his nose was bleeding. He looked very embarrassed. He also felt very aggrieved in his heart.

Bao Long glanced at him, raised his foot, kicked him to the side, and said, "Let's start with this guy and tie him up."

Ma Jixiang hurriedly shouted: "General, military master, and subordinates have surrendered, and the villain has surrendered."

But the soldiers of the Chinese Army didn't care about this and tied up Ma Jixiang. Moreover, the soldiers despised Ma Jixiang's character, so they deliberately pulled the rope tighter, which made Ma Jixiang scream. When the other ministers saw it, they did not resist and tied him up obediently. Two more soldiers stepped forward and pulled Zhu Youlang out from under the table.

At this time, Zhu Tianlin took two steps forward and said: "Shang Yi was once a minister of the Ming Dynasty. If the number of days is like this, we have nothing to say, but the emperor is still the emperor. How can he impose the humiliation of being tied up? If If you are determined to tie up the emperor, kill me first."

Bao Long looked at Zhu Tianlin and admired the old man a little. He nodded and said: "Okay, let's not tie him up." Then he said to Zhu Youlang: "You are Zhu Youlang, I'm here. I won't tie you up to save you some face in front of your subordinates, but you must be honest and don't run away. Don't think you are an emperor anymore. Look at what kind of place this is. There is someone as poor as you. Emperor? There is only one emperor in the world now, and that is our King Zhenbei."

This day was July 24, 1650, the sixth year of the Ming Dynasty, the seventh year of Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty. The monarchs and ministers of the Yongli court were captured by the Chinese army in Anlong, including Zhu Youlang and his family, and the trusted eunuch Shi Cong. Seven people, including nine Zhu Youlang and his family members, eight eunuchs, twenty-six ministers of the Yongli court, and other entourages, attendants, soldiers, etc., totaling 472 people.

The news spread to Annanwei, and Luo Yuanbin and others were very happy when they learned about it. Although Shang Yi has never taken catching the emperor of Nanming too seriously, catching it is better than not catching it, and The Yongli court had already escaped from the hands of the Chinese army twice. It was indeed not easy to catch them this time.

Of course, Zhu Youlang and his ministers were captured by the Chinese army, and the last court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the Yongli Court, officially came to an end. This also meant that the continuation of the Ming Dynasty was completely over, and history turned a new page.

However, the official demise of the Yongli court had a symbolic meaning greater than its actual significance, because at this time, the Yongli court was actually in a state of existence in name only, without any territory, troops or subjects of its own, and everything was actually dependent on Daxi

The army supplies, so the arrest of Zhu Youlang and his ministers does not mean that the war is over.

Therefore, Luo Yuanbin and others did not celebrate in a big way, but ordered the cavalry regiment to escort all the captured people to Annan Guard. After a preliminary trial, Zhu Youlang, his family members, eunuchs, and ministers, a total of forty-three people, were

They were sent back to Nanjing and handed over to the cabinet for disposal. Of course, Luo Yuanbin also told them that in the past Shaowu would never

The situation after the prisoners of the An Dynasty and the An Dynasty were sent to Nanjing made them feel at ease on the road and not to think of escaping. At the same time, there were twelve elephants and skins skinned from dead elephants that were sent to Nanjing with them.

Elephant skin, bones and ivory. Of course, Luo Yuanbin had already sent the news of the victory to Nanjing by flying pigeons.

After all these matters were dealt with, Luo Yuanbin and others turned their attention to the battlefield in front of them.

After being defeated by the Chinese army in Shaji Ridge, Sun Kewang and Ai Nengqi fled back to Xingxingsuo. In this battle, the Daxi Army was indeed defeated miserably. After cleaning up the remaining troops, only more than 40,000 people were left, and there were still more

Nearly half of the people were injured, and after two or three years of hard work, only the elephant army was left.

More than 20 elephants were killed, and Liu Wenxiu was nowhere to be found, whether alive or dead. It can also be said that after this defeat, although the Daxi Army was not seriously injured, it still suffered heavy losses. At the same time, Sun Kewang and Ai Neng

Qi also understood that the strength of the Daxi Army was simply not enough to compete with the Chinese Army.

But now that the war has begun, there is no way to take it back, so the two of them discussed it and thought that Xinxing Station was just a thousand-household station with a small city and narrow land, which was not enough to resist the Chinese army's attack. It was better to retreat to Pu'an Prefecture, where

The city is high and thick, so the Daxi Army can stay in the city and defend against the Chinese Army. At least it cannot let the Chinese Army into Yunnan. The other two people also believe that although the Chinese Army has strong combat effectiveness, it will probably have to pay a considerable price to attack Pu'an Prefecture.

.

Because according to general common sense in war, the party attacking a city often loses more troops than the party defending the city. Therefore, as long as Pu'an Prefecture is defended first and the Chinese army is kept out of Yunnan, then people are sent to Sichuan and

Wu Sangui got in touch, and there was no chance that the two sides would deal with the Chinese army together. Although the Daxi Army and Wu Sangui had

Qiu, it was Wu Sangui who attacked Sichuan with the Qing army, killed Zhang Xianzhong, and forced the Great Western Army to withdraw from Sichuan and flee to Yunnan. But now that the enemy is facing the enemy, they can only put these personal grievances aside. Moreover, Wu Sangui is still in the name discussion.

The officials of the Yongli Dynasty, as long as Zhu Youlang was still in the control of the Daxi Army, could overwhelm Wu Sangui.

So the two people immediately abandoned Xinxing Station and retreated to Pu'an Prefecture. However, as soon as they arrived in Pu'an Prefecture, they received news that Anlong had been attacked by the Chinese army and that Zhu Youlang and his ministers had been captured by the Chinese army.
